OLIVER 1VI. BURTON, OF CHICAGO, ILLINOIS, ASSIGNOR TO DIXIE COTTON FELT MAT- TRESS COMPANY, OF CHICAGO, ILLINOIS, A CORPORATION.

PILLOW.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Oct. 17, 1916.

To all whom t may concern:

Be it known that I, OLIVER M. BURTON, a citizen of the United States residing at Chicago, in the county of Cook and State of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Pillows, of which I do declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description. Y

The present invention has for its object to provide a pillow or the like with a strap whereby the pillow may be suspended and which is so disposed that it will not interfere ed at their edges by side and end seams, this Y cover being filled with any suitable stuffing material 6, such as feathers or the like.

i Diagonally across the corner of the pillow extends the strap 7 whereby the pillow may be suspended for renovating or otherwise handled. The strap 7 is formed of any suitable stout fabric and may be of one or more thicknesses, two thicknesses of material being shown in the drawing. The strap fits snugly over the rounded surface of the pillow and its ends are inserted between the folded edges 8 and 9 of the side and end seams of the pillow cover, as clearly shown in F ig. 2, and are united thereto by the rows of stitches 10 by which the folded edges of the pillow cover are connected. It will'be understood, of course, that the strap 7 will be united to the pillow when the cover is formed. Inasmuch as the ends of the strap are connected to both side and end seams of the pillow, the strain upon the strap will be most effectively distributedV in such manner as to afford the least possible danger of injury to the fabric of which the cover of the pillow is formed and, as the strap snugly engages the outer face olf the pillow, it does not interfere with the snug, smooth fit of the pillow case. The strap affords a convenient means by which the pillow may be readily hung up for airing.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

A pillow comprising a rounded, stuffed casing formed of two layers of fabric united by side and end seams and a suspension strap extending diagonally across one corner of the pillow, said strap being separate from but snugly fitting over the rounded surface of the pillow and having'its opposite inturned ends interposed between and secured tol said layers of fabric at the side and end seams respectively, substantially as de-` scribed.
